Month: February 2018

64 degrees this morning (41 degrees at home). Start of our “vacation from the cold”. Windy, with a chill in the air but nice yesterday. Tried to get out of our comfort zone on where we ate. Not a disaster but will not try it again! More a matter of expectations rather than the actual … More 2018 Winter February 18 Sunday

37 degrees this morning, rain, no walk. Temperature dropped a lot yesterday, from around 81 degrees to the low 30’s with a high wind! Not a good change! At least we are getting closer to Spring each day! Start of the “vacation from the cold” (hopefully). We are looking forward to some warm weather! Thinking … More 2018 Winter February 17 Saturday

45 degrees this morning, no walk. No walk due to schedule somewhat (and coughing), but what really decided me was the wind! About 30 mph and I could hear it when I got up. Yesterday when it was 69, and about a 20 mph wind was bad enough. Also I have a relatively tight schedule … More 2018 Winter February 16 Friday

69 degrees this morning. Walk 34:52 minutes. A huge difference in temperature from just a few days ago! As always with “warm” temperatures this time of year, there is still a chill in the air. The wind was blowing noticeably at 22 mph and made it even seem more chilly. Not that I didn’t enjoy … More 2018 Winter February 15 Thursday

44 degrees this morning, walk 32:54 minutes Wind was up this morning a little, so the cold definitely had a sharp tinge to it. My walk time was not a record, apparently in my return to my walk after the layoff (about a week), I somehow missed going my entire walk (lower by about .12 … More 2018 Winter February 14 2018

25 degrees this morning (38 degrees Oklahoma City) It is definitely a colder 25 degrees here where the wind is unfettered by buildings or many trees. It bites a lot harder. I read where the state legislature put their head in the sand again (and deposited big “donations” from a number of lobbyists) and refused … More 2018 Winter February 13 Tuesday

9 degrees this morning (-3 “feels like”) 18 in OKC. Definitely cold outside this morning! Traveling yesterday was nice, sunshine and clear roads in spite of the cold! Had a really weird dream this morning about work until I woke up and realized I was off off today. Weird how dreams come up. In the … More 2018 Winter February 12 Monday

20 degrees this morning, no walk Feels like 5 degrees this moaning again! Hopefully a warmup will begin soon! Celebrated a granddaughters birthday yesterday, going to funeral services early this week. The cycle of our lives continues. As I have noted before, time passes so fast, it is good we mark the important events of … More 2018 Winter February 11 Sunday

22 degrees this morning, no walk “feels like 5 degrees”, wind from the north at 25 mph! Even if I felt great, I don’t think I would have walked this morning! The good thing is that the “freezing drizzle” has apparently missed us, although it may come in later. Received the sad, and rather surprising … More 2018 Winter February 10 Saturday

44 degrees this morning. No walk. Good to see the temperature up some! Unfortunately I seem to still have some low level bug, so I decided not to walk again. I am beginning to wonder if I have developed some kind of food allergy. I am also a lot more tired and sleep a lot … More 2018 Winter February 9 Friday
